How to hide sensitive data when using Android clipboard?

In Android API 33, when you copy something to clipboard, a special bar appears:

The clipboard bar

If the copied data is sensitive, you can set ClipDescription.EXTRA_IS_SENSITIVE to true for the clip:

        PersistableBundle persistableBundle = new PersistableBundle();
        persistableBundle.putBoolean(ClipDescription.EXTRA_IS_SENSITIVE, true);
        clip.getDescription().setExtras(persistableBundle);

As a result, the copied data becomes hidden:

Hidden text in the clipboard bar

However, when you click the share button on that bar or use the copied text in another app, the text is revealed:

Sharing copied text using the clipboard bar

Or

Sensible data is visible on the top of the soft keyboard

The question is how to hide sensitive data in this scenario?
